Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston?: My favorite thing about Tufts is how diverse the class and faculty is. Every time I meet a new classmate or faculty, they shed a new perspective on life and become a part of the mosaic that makes me. My favorite thing about Boston is how it has a little bit of everything! The great food, funky buildings, the Zebra crossing (feels illegal still), kayaking in the summer, and running along the Charles River. Those are just some of things I can think of that I am really loving here!

Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies?: I have been on the local news in two different states in less than 2 weeks (what can i say, the paparazzi is everywhere 📸). Some hobbies I enjoy doing are gardening, writing poems, crocheting my 6 ft blanket, and hiking! #howilookwithoutmyn95 #tusdm #dentalcentral

Positions of leadership at TUSDM: D24 Liaison for GHSA, VP of Tufts Dental Aesthetics Society, founding member of Cherish Chinatown

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston?: Everyone, from faculty/staff to the students, comes from widely diverse backgrounds so I’m always able to meet new people and learn new things. The many different student organizations at Tufts offers niches for nearly everyone as well. My favorite things about Boston include the intricate architecture you can find all over the city and the many different bodies of water we’re surrounded by!

Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies?: I picked up piano and guitar again over quarantine after a decade (but ya girl’s still got it)! To name a few others: Being outdoors/hiking, digital photography, playing basketball, rollerblading, anything about oceanography–from marine life to ecological conservation 🌊 #tusdm #dentalcentral
